Ingredients
Scale
Sushi Rice Base
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fillings and Toppings
- Marshmallow fluff
- Crushed graham crackers
- Chocolate sauce
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice: Prepare the sushi rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is fully cooked and sticky enough to hold together.
- Season the rice: While the rice is still warm, stir in the sugar and vanilla extract to sweeten and flavor it. Then, allow the rice to cool completely to room temperature.
- Prepare the rolling surface: Lay a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap flat on your work surface to help with rolling the sushi.
- Shape the rice layer: Spread the cooled sushi rice evenly into a thin rectangle about 1/4-inch thick on the prepared surface.
- Add the marshmallow fluff: Spread a line of marshmallow fluff along the center of the rice rectangle, forming the ‘filling’.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers: Generously sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the marshmallow fluff to add texture and flavor.
- Roll the sushi: Using the parchment or plastic wrap to assist, carefully roll the rice tightly into a log shape, enclosing the fillings inside.
- Chill the roll: Place the rolled sushi in the refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up and make slicing easier.
- Slice into pieces: Remove the roll from the fridge and slice it into sushi-sized pieces with a damp, sharp knife to prevent sticking.
- Garnish and serve: Drizzle chocolate sauce over the sushi slices and sprinkle with extra crushed graham crackers and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- Using a damp knife when slicing helps prevent the rice from sticking and results in cleaner slices.
- The vanilla extract is optional but adds a lovely aroma and enhances the sweetness.
- Chilling the roll before slicing is important for easier handling and preventing the roll from falling apart.
- You can substitute marshmallow fluff with mini marshmallows if desired, but fluff creates a smoother filling.
- Adjust the amount of crushed graham crackers to taste for crunch and flavor intensity.
